Same here, I have just landed on this great speech. I think that everybody is shocked by enlightenment about what is happening and going to happen sooner than we ever thought. this talk just just scratching the itch inside the brain of how narrow ( The human thinks )! sometimes you have the information but not structured in a way to Really comprehend it until....... ! :) we all need to open our mind wider. Uhh....no comments!!
None of the examples and predictions will pass the test of time. All of them are one hit wonders. As fast as they pop up, equally fast they will be forgotten.
The presentation did not go into predictions for the world of 2050, so I'll make my own. 1 - Research into the workings of Dark Energy will provide for limitless energy harvesting from the vacuum, i.e. Zero-Point energy. 2 - Research into the workings of Dark Matter will provide a more complete understanding of Gravity. We will finally be able to Engineer anti-gravity. The world of transportation will be transformed. Imagine flying any where on earth within half an hour. 3 - Harvesting asteroids and comets for resources will be commonplace. 4 - Living on the Moon and Mars will be commonplace. 5 - Since robots and AI will be doing most jobs, most people will no longer have kids. People will adopt a robot as their kid. 6 - Lifespan for humanity will be 250 years and increasing. 7 - Cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other presently debilitating diseases will be non-existent. 8 - Death will no longer be necessary. Your sentient being can be moved into a robot body better than your human body. In the meantime, until all such things happen, eat right and exercise to stay in shape in the hope that you can "live long enough to live forever" ... Stay abreast of what nutrients and pharmaceuticals you need to take to keep your mind sharp. You will need a creative mind to stay relevant in this new constantly changing world ... As my father used to say, "Life is not about having fun, it is about survival".
Lol. Your sentient being is connected to everything in the universe. Good luck transplanting that into a robot. So many people have no idea how incredible and advanced we are despite the ignorant ego thinker inside. Biology > machine. A machine can never eclipse the most advanced tech in the universe. The brain is capable of much bigger calculations than a machine, if the user knows how to use their brain. lol In other words we have babies dressed in unfathomable tech.
Phaze8888 Biology>machine!!! what nonsense. Brain IS a machine, not some magic. Given enough time AI will eventually evolve into ASI leaving human in the dust.
Excellent presentation. Explanation is perfect. Listen to it at one sitting. Thank you so much for your utmost effor to educate the audience on what was happened, what's happening and what will be happened on earth 🌍 people in the audience should not move here and there until the presentation is over as it's disturbing the presenter most importantly this is a Government summit and the whole world watching you., Congratulations 👏👏👏
This exponential growth and plummeting prices are working in odd manner. I have waited over a year for a certain laptop price to drop from 1200 to under 1000 euros. It hasn't, it just disappears from stores little by little and it's replaced by even more expensive models.
Yes , same here . I have understood that these companies are producing more technologically demanding apps and software's which are extremely heavy on the processors . So buying an older model or waiting for the prices to drop isn't worth anything now because by the time the prices drop, the hardware power the apps and software needs, grows like anything and there is no point in buying that old laptop . This happened to me in the case of the surface pro 5 and 6 . I have eventually decided to buy the surface 6model because of the 9th generation processor which will work for about 2 years, before the OS and other software's start sucking the life out of it .
Rex joke is on us consumers. Stop buying their crap and they will stop selling. Oh we have a new credit push from central banking to give more credit to very irresponsible buyers . Those buyers will keep big tech alive . They will eat us if we don't get real. What's old will become new again. If you have a good BRAIN , you can do anything you need but not with this un even playing field tech has created. Most average people can't now and won't ever be able to afford the big tech that gives big business advantages over smaller businesses. This is a threat to human life. We will be less needed and less employed and if we are employed , not be paid enough to justify showing up for work. Good times , bad times . I guess we will see .
We can already meet the needs of every man woman and child. We have had that ability for decades. We have the technology to provide clean drinking water and the best healthiest food possible to everyone. Feeding the world good food goes against the agenda of depopulation which is why the situation continues.
Excellent presentation. I've seen him do this presentation before and he usually places the segment that includes solar energy toward the beginning of the presentation, but he was wise to place it at the end given his audience is from an oil producing country. You can visibly see the discomfort of people in the room and people start to leave immediately thereafter : /
Today (2017), middle-eastern countries are going heavily into solar. They see the direction the world is heading in, and they are pretty sunny places, so it works for them. However, replacing your whole energy infrastructure takes time, on the order of 30 years. But even if we stop burning fossil fuels for energy, we will still need them for some purposes. Coal is used in blast furnaces to turn iron ore into iron, and many many chemical products start with petroleum. The fossil industry won't disappear entirely, just become a lot smaller.
Well for all of these negative comments this isn't about the audience that were there only this is called the world Government Summit. Its for all of you watching to get educated and learn. The majority of the audience are in the late 30s and in the United Arab Emirates back then the education was pretty poor unlike now. Being an Emirati myself im proud of this yearly Summit and recently in 2016 and 2017 they empowered the youth and future leader. Go have a look its inspiring.
Interesting talk, but I wish he'd elaborated more on how the role of human beings on this planet will change with these technologies. Our global population is growing and it seems inevitable that many current jobs will be taken over by "robots". We won't all become entrepreneurs who can stay a float by having billions of dollars available to create competitions and capitalize on other people's inventions. If teachers, doctors, labourers etc... are eventually going to be replaced, what opportunities will be created for them by these technologies? I'm guessing we'll be creating new generations of innovators? Would have liked to hear his thoughts on this...
Robots (and automation, AI, and smart devices) will be cheap, just like smartphones are already cheap. That's because robots can make more robots. Visit a robot factory (or look for a video here on RU-vid) and you will see them already doing that. You won't need a job, because the smart tech will take care of your needs. You probably won't have robots of your own to make everything, because how many houses and sets of furniture do you need? But you can buy shares in a robot factory that can, and just get your share of the output.
I still remember the designated 'Kodak moment ' spots at Disneyland. They went out with the company in 2012. A bit sad, really ... (9:59 zzzzz Kodak moment ....)
Quantum encryption is supposedly unbreakable without breaking the laws of physics, because when observed by a third party the information gets destroyed. The wave function collapses.
Does he factor in climate change at all? That will effect the future of progress greatly. Also politics will impede the mass implementation of some of these technologies by 15-30 years. Politics can be very jet-lagged and lumbering.With that said, this is one of the most interesting presentations, I recommend all of it.
I'm pretty sure with all the exponential increase in information technology, our knowledge of climate change and the necessary actions to prevent further escalation of climate change would be improved.
Chesley Ramos that is true, but there is a delay between the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the actual weather effects that we experience. There's a 30 year delay, so what we are experiencing now is the result of CO2 levels from 30 years ago, not from today. We will not see today's weather effects until roughly 2045.
Although I've never heard of such delay, and a source would be greatly appreciated, you seem to underestimate the power of information technology and its exponential increase. Like what the visionary Ray Kurzweil states, our intuition is linear. We think that in 30 steps we reach thirty, but with the exponential power of information technology when we reach 30 steps we have one billion. So imagine the effect of such an increase in power can have on the world, let alone climate change. Nice conversation!
Chesley Ramos The delay is in ice sheets that break loose, come off entirely and dissolve no matter what you do. Even if we could drop CO2 tomorrow to pre industrial levels some changes are irreversible and are going to happen no matter what. The problems this generates for agriculture in tropical areas might destabilise everything if we don't watch out. If we ever get green energy sources like fusion online most of our problems can be solved through massive energy increases.
Helghastl33t yes I understand. It's exciting to see new discoveries in clean energy being made. Such as the solar power becoming a cheap and efficient form of energy that will soon be in the houses of many in America. I really hope we create a fusion reactor soon to remove many of our energy problems.
That's why 3D printers by themselves are not a complete "industrial ecosystem". They need supplies, just like standard PC printers need paper. A 3D printer for food needs to be fed ingredients, which will come from farms like they do now. A 3D printer for concrete, like was mentioned in the video, will need to be fed gravel, sand, cement, and water, just like regular concrete. All those may be supplied by robots, but they will have to come from somewhere.
+LYNN LOVE i think they have a very knowing and shady expression, they rich enough to be onboard almost every life extension/immortality tech guest list, heck half of them are just mad they caught on camera, lol, could be wrong tho =)
+Iraqianbloodian ata this is because we (you) are all descendants from our mother land AFRICA whether you except it or not its still true .... we were the first and we will be the last. Yes you are right you all are in danger because when the sleeping lion awakes, woa unto thee. oh and learn how to spell Europe.
+Melissa Buie Its also amazing to me how every nation around the world exploits Africa for all it has but hate its people.... Nations kill by starvation, disease and bullets and yet still we grow twice the population of other races with and exception to Spain's descendant's. I digress with a quote from the movie bae' bea's kids... "We don't die we.... multiply" ha ha ha laugh at that!.
***** your right that's no laughing matter....that's a fight on a another scale. Women rights... I haven't seen a kidnapping of young boys that monsters that do that to. Unless you count the place where parents actually gives there sons away to.
awesome i am looking foward to future, only to things im worried about is the animals i hate that they are getting killed off it is predictied most animals will be exctinct in next 50 years, and second thing is i am trying to become rich because there will be no jobs, once the robots take over for a decade or two there will be alot of broke people until it all sorts itself out
Its going to happen a lot faster than even Peter thinks. Technology disruptions never happen in a linear manner. Neither does adoption of new technologies.
I think that it is a great misunderstanding what ABUNDANCE is. You could say that we already have ABUNDANCE, because amount of consumer goods today is many many times bigger that 200 years ago. From the point of view of 18th century people we have already abundance now. And in 200 years we will have ABUNDANCE but it will be different kind of ABUNDANCE. There is now one central point in history - point of achieving abundance. Abundance is relative.
This presentation inspired me greatly in the direction of #optimism about our #future. Watch as ***** shares the (proven) mathematical predictability of technology's progress over the next few decades. Faster computers, robots eliminating jobs, AI replacing teachers, the end of privacy... With complete and utter sincerity, I am stoked!! :D
You can make this more likely on the supply side - investing in clever new ideas either with a purchase or a donation to a group that creates solutions
Although I am very excited about the subjects he talks about, he always just mentions the good stuff. we evolved to focus on the bad stuff yeah, but we can't just unleash this type of power into the world as it currently is, and just assume everything will be just dandy. We will be able to produce a billion times more crap and products soon, well great, especially for poor populations, but one of our biggest problems is that we are destroying the planet, and have a massive global warming crisis on our hands. Solar panels will help, and other emerging tech, but in general we should really as a species, due to a variety of reasons, cut down on our consumption, not produce another billion new shitty plastic things for a cent, that we can use to pollute everything with. The shallow materialistic overconsumption societies we have now, are quite disgusting in my opinion. and very much detrimental to our health and our planet. Climate scientists always talks about what we need to do before 2050, a, yet in a talk called "The World in 2050" he completely ignores the question of what an abundance in production will do to the environment. Also. "We'll have a trillion sensors" and global computers that can see everything, and robots with superhuman strenght, that can crush you, outrun you, outshoot, you, and can see you anywhere you go on the planet. Should there not be any concern to what framework we should create, before we unleash such power? We have a huge problem with the NSA just today, with our crappy tech. Imagine the level abuse and suppression a government can use this for. There should really be a clean up of corruption, corporate interests and government and control long before this emerges. Not to mention how it will effect economies. We need to fix the world before these things happen, not after. By then it's to late. Does anyone have any idea what he thinks about these topics that he is disturbingly silent about? Global warming, corruption and government with future ultimate power, and the effect of abundance on our ridiculous monetary system dependent on infinite growth? Is he a silent supporter of the The Zeitgeist Movement / The Venus Project's idea of removing the monetary system? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am super excited about all of this and I'm a big fan of people like himself and Kurzweil and such, but it bothers me just being told the puppy dog, fluffy unicorn, sunshine side of the story. There is to much information missing from this talk.
He also talks about recycling the stuff we are making. Efficiency is about getting more for less. Nanotechnology based on our current laws of physics could allow us to shrink the human foot print of 20 billion people down to 100 people. So 20 billion people would be consuming the energy of 100 people. that is our future and we will also stretch out into the solar system and if we are able to the stars. You may think of this as being many centuries away but it could be with in our own life time and that is the power of exponential growth.
I also hate the frantic positivity, nothing-could-possibly-go-wrong attitude, which also irritates me in Michio Kaku. I appreciate the counterbalance against the endless stream of horrible news and dystopian fiction that this represents, but there needs to be some recognition that we could screw up, as we have been known to do before where powerful technologies are concerned. Not often, but enough to warrant caution. The video 'Four Environmental Heresies' by environmentalist Stewart Brand offers a still upbeat but more sober assessment of the issues we're facing.
I didn't hear any predictions but.. I guess the message that he was trying to explain was how your privacy is no longer private, the machines we use everyday like your car, tv, phones are getting smarter and will be able to do what we go to school for years for. how nothing you or I do in the public will be captioned to just you or I. Most importantly how googles success happened in the past and what its racing to for the future. in a nut shell.
this video is 3 years old. Diamandis at 27:30 says "imagine printing in concrete so you can print houses"...you no longer need an imagination, look at the youtube video. If *anything* Diamandis is too careful here.
Why Peter Diamandis is still speaking of money? If 50% of the jobs are gone, how will all these people have money? Wouldn´t it be better to give a prize to a project that supply the basic needs to every person in the world with no money involved? I see his speech is to reach this goal, but I would like to know what he really thinks of the future without jobs to make money to buy the abundance. The only thing I can think of is: Forget about money and jobs. Make all the material and intellectual resources accesible for everybody. A lot of people will still be needed to work, well this is something that needs to be solved. Many of them will be pleased to work in what they love. They can be rewarded somehow, surely. The problem will be the jobs still needed but not wanted, this is a problem to be solved.
AI could become like the whole story of the nuclear a d atomic bomb. Good ideas but could great evil implications such that it could become un-usable. history repeats
English is the second language in the UAE. Yes they do understand. Another note, UAE is probably one of the most forward thinking country in the world yet keeping their tradition. You should travel more.
what about these ever-growing machines that WILL one day just lik us become self aware? Will thy feel they have right and emotions? This ain't ur problem now will the movie Terminator may have been on to something
why would they become self aware? Smart yes, self-aware? what's the advantage to creating self aware machines? Right now we're looking for machines to be able to answer questions quickly, accurately, and figure out the question that we didn't ask. There is probably some need for self-awareness, but at the level of a dog, not a human. Humans get value out of self awareness because it allows us empathy. Empathy is a lot cheaper to fake with machines (reading micro expressions, doing voice stress analysis, etc), "designed" artificial intelligence is probably artificial smartness. I'm not saying we're not heading towards a cliff, just not a "terminator" cliff. We're heading towards an economic cliff as these smart machines take all the jobs, and the people that own those robots win our game of Monopoly. If you have a smart machine that can answer any question, program/design a solution, build a robot for any physical task you enable each employee to do what 10,000 could, if you give each of the smartest 600 people at Google one of these machines, they can do as much as the 60k people they employ now. That's probably a couple decades away...not generations, not centuries, decades.
upstream we wont have the ressources to build up the would is forseen...instead because of the exponential growth of globale population and disparition of rainforest iis going to be a world of conflits and mass migration.
So dear Peter, what does that mean? There is also a year 2100. There is also a year 2200. Can you imagine that you then have the thinking capacity of 1000 Gods? Hardly ... There one must probably think again, where a thinking error has crept in here.
Not even wrong?, the time to move up from the Beta version is always unknown, but an alternative approach can circumvent all expectations. Still have to do all the strategies apparent, like finding Vaccines? The old saying, "God is good" is natural linear thinking for learning by doing experience, but the reverse synthesis processes of finding a path of "novel" innovative development by using intuitive awareness and experience means putting the visualization of analytical resonances in perspective such that "Good is god" .., the optimal application of thinking for yourself in Principle.
